Acting on behalf of Wicked Pictures, the not-so-subtly-named Takedown Piracy (TDP) sent Google a notice demanding the removal of thousands of links it alleged infringed on its client’s copyrights. Except not all of them did, with GitHub URLs also caught in the net. Companies affected include Yahoo, Facebook, and Netflix.

EFF Accuses Apple Over Developer Terms

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has big issues with Apple’s “outrageous” developer agreement. These are the terms app developers have to agree to before even considering making an app for an Apple product, and according to the digital rights advocate, they’re “bad for developers and users alike.”

When I rule the universe, aggressive copyright attacks like Wicked's will cost them treble damages with prejudice; onerous agreements like Apple's will be immediately nullified and result in floggings for the board of directors of such a company*; Sony will be politely nodded at unless they do something illegal; and the gamer's donation will be matched whether the person he proposes to says yes or not.
